I Went To Church Last Sunday
I Went To Church Last Sunday…
I went to church last Sunday, and much to my surprise.
I got up real early. It was just before the sunrise.
I wanted to be with others in worship to my Lord.
But when I arrived, so many there look so “bored.”
When they were singing the songs, some didn’t seem to care.
As I looked around, hardly anyone noticed I was there.
By the time the people were asked to sing another song.
Some greeted the worship leader with just another “yawn.”
Did anyone really want to worship Jesus the risen king?
Is church a place to simply “get bored with everything?”
As the preacher arose to preach his “Sunday sermon best.”
“Fill between the lines,” he said… This was to be the “test.”
Shortly after the outlines were filled, there was a “closing prayer.”
I noticed many of the people were “happy to get out of there!”
I thought to myself as I left and walked out the door…
“Is this what the true body of Christ meant for?”
“Where is the sin-cleansing power of God I’ve heard about?”
“Has the power of God in many churches been ‘kicked out?’”
I pray that the presence of God will get a hold of our heart.
May our worship for Jesus be evident… Right from the start!
May our relationship with Christ be very important to us.
May we give him our life! Our heart! And our trust!
May our love for him not be a “boring Sunday experience.”
May we serve HIM daily… Expecting a divine appearance!
The Jesus I know is bigger than any denomination might be!
And only his blood has the power to set men free!
Serving and loving Jesus is an opportunity with living!
A life in totally surrender to Christ is what we much be giving!
